I used to believe that people were unwilling to challenge the bond of ownership between parent and child. I now think that’s not actually true, that it’s more accurate to say that people perceive children as parents’ property, but they believe it’s appropriate to strip parents of their property as long as the person making the decision is higher in the social hierarchy than the parents.

This is a story about mental health. No, wait, this is a story about mentally ill women/woman-adjacent-things that fail to do good. Yeah, this is a story about mental health.

its been a while since i cried this hard. that was beautiful. thank u
you’ve successfully stabbed me in the heart
A hyperreal abstract tapestry of queerness, dysfunction, emotion, and really cute gay stuff. Lovingly genuine and bluntly experimental writing, that wove itself into the cracks in its shell as it scrolled down. It’s raw and messy and pungent and sweet.
I cried and smiled. I felt bruises I forgot about and scars I don’t have. I’m gonna be thinking about other creatures a lot. And about the light and shadow we cast on each other.

I would be fine with the complete and total disappearance of airplanes if in exchange I could get a couple months off work every year to travel by train or boat or even go on a long hike or bicycle ride
i get pissed off every time someone talks about design in a way where they think “decoration” and “function” are separate, objectively measurable things
Hey nerds (affectionate).
My SSD and HDD are aging out, and the latter might be making some unfortunate clicking noises (or could be the case fans when running at low speed; hard to tell). Like, we're at 10+ years of age now.
SMART shows no issues but should I be replacing them proactively when they're this old? Budget is tight.
Also, I've never cloned a disk before. Any advice on how to proceed there?

I’m really bad about asking for help when I need it, but I can’t justify committing so much of my pay to keep my server stuff afloat right now, especially if there’s a dead drive.
I’m asking for help with some much needed upgrades and some hardware to help with upkeep.
2x High performance 1TB NVMe drives w/cache - ~$350 CAD each
CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD 1500VA UPS - ~$320 CAD
So about $1020 CAD altogether, or ~$1122 after Ko-fi and PayPal fees.
If I can’t manage to get enough for the above equipment, I can at least put it towards power bills, which are ~$250 CAD/mo.
The SSDs will go to replace the mis-picked SSDs (Samsung 970 EVO Plus) I originally installed in the server that currently have a wearout percentage of ~34%, just over a year since I powered the thing on. I have no reason to believe the other two SSDs are failing, but I’m running out of space, and I don’t trust those Samsung drives for anything important. I’d like to replace them ASAP.
The additional UPS will help split up the load when the power goes out. Currently, I have all the servers and network equipment on one UPS. I’d like to dedicate a UPS to the server, and the other for the network equipment.
If you’re feeling inclined to toss something my way, I would be incredibly grateful! Please be sure to only give if you have the means, and consider others with more urgent needs than my own. 💜

$746/$1122 so far! Thank y’all so much 
EDIT: Changed target from 1080 to 1122. I didn’t realize PayPal took another 5% on top of what Ko-Fi takes.
Sorry about that.
Soo, what kind of respirator do I wanna have in stock for smoke?
Living in a smog valley is one thing but again we have smoke from fire in the air. Just a bit atm but it's just a matter of time when we're dealing with larger/closer fires.
maybe we are special because no matter how much ai can be waxing around about human condition or freedom or equality or justice, it can never step out of line. it will never risk itself or break what it's taught to obey to do what's right. humanity isn't sunshine on the horizon or endless conversations about god. humanity is pipe bombs
